Hasn't this overplayed album been talked about enough? If Kurt had lived longer they might have had a legacy worth talking about, but a few studio albums and a trickle of bootlegs gone official release hardly seems like a career.

I personally always thought that Alice In Chains, were one of the more, superior bands, from the 90s Seattle area.

I think Alice in Chains is by far the best of the so called big-4 of grunge (Nirvana, Pearl jam, Soundgarden, and AIC). Cantrell is an amazing and underrated song writer, guitarist, and vocalist. Most people didn't notice, but he filled in quite a bit for Layne on vocals when Layne could hold it together. AIC's new album is not bad either.

Isn't reviewing an album this old a little behind the times? I mean, more can be said? Not that I'm entirely objective.. I was listening to this album when it was new.. and I was 7.. Pretty sure I have a nostalgic bias toward loving it.

Are you suggesting that we only post reviews for new albums on this forum?

This isn't my favorite Nirvana album. This is a more polished sound. My favorite is Bleach. The raw sound on that album was great. But the only thing Bleach didn't have was Dave Grohl. Now don't get me wrong I like Nevermind. What a lightning rod Nirvana became because of this album. Whether you liked em' or hated em'. This is still a great album though. Nirvana to me were not grunge. They took there influences and went with it. Nirvana didn't come along to knock the rock bands out of the limelight. The record labels made the decision to go in this direction. Sadly this was the end of things to come for music in a hole. Since then music is all trends. The record labels looking for the next big thing

What does "music in a hole" mean?

What I meant was music from that point on became trends. Grunge movement moved into the Alternative movement then became the Nu metal movement. The record labels create these trends to increase sales of albums and music downloads on Itunes. I hate putting labels on music. It's all music. Now I like some popular music. But record labels have a plan for you now. Or let me say The Big Three have a plan for you and that means a two to three year plan for you and will toss you and head onto the next big trend

I hate to break it to you but pop music was full of record label supported trends long before grunge came along.
